All that Matters is your Happiness

Chapter 2

Alex' P.O.V.

"I'm in love with Lena and if I need to, I will protect her from you, with everything I have."

Kara's words plow right through me and leave me almost breathless, the way she had such conviction in her voice, such steel, I knew that these threats weren't made lightly. This wasn't Kara Danvers or even Supergirl speaking, this was Kara Zor-el, a woman who lost her entire world, her entire birth family, refusing to lose anyone else.

But this a Luthor we were talking about, she comes from a bloodline of alien hating, manipulative and megalomaniacs, why should I even begin to think that she was any different from her family, or even entertain the idea that she was good enough for my little sister.

With all of these thoughts racing through my mind I find myself if a battle of glares between Kara and myself, I barely register Winn looking back and forth between the two of us. Finally, I can't remain quiet any longer.

"Are you out of your fucking mind Kara?" My voice quiet, holding all the anger deep down for fear of having Kara shut down and storm away before I get to try and reason with her, get her to see that this is such an awful idea. "Not only are you in a... relationship...with a Luthor, but you told her who you are, and about the DEO? You have compromised years upon years of work. If the general population even gets a whisper of the DEO, the federal government will shut us down. Who, them pray tell, will keep the bad aliens from sunning rampant in the streets?"

"Alex, I didn't tell her about me being Supergirl, she figured it out! She is so incredibly smart, so much so that if you got over your snap judgment of her, I really thing the two of you would become inseparable. As for the DEO I had to tell her, she would see me in all of these bone breaking fights, where I am thrown around like a ragdoll, and then disappear from her daily life for hours on end recovering here. I came home after those days to a crying Lena wondering why I didn't love her enough to come to her when I was injured after a fight. I couldn't let her keep thinking that, I love her too much to ever see her cry over something that I can prevent."

At this point Kara was pleading with me to see her side of things, but I just... I just couldn't. Kara risked everything by telling that woman about our existence. "I am so furious with you Kara!" I couldn't hold myself back any longer. "I am so disappointed in you, why would you think it was even okay in the first place to become involved, in anyway with a Luthor. I could barely stand thinking that the two of you were friends but at least I thought that your loyalties lied with us unquestionably." I rub my hand over my forehead and turn away from my sister.

I go to walk to the door, barely being able to be around Kara at the moment as she tried to plead on Lena's behalf. "Alex, please try to understand. You are my sister, I will always have your back, I'll always be loyal to you!"

I whirled around to face Kara on last time. "You threatened me! You threatened our whole group of friends, the DEO!" I couldn't hold back any longer how truly angry I was. "You stood here and basically said you were ready for a fight with us if we so much as threatened that woman! That's not loyalty!" I spat, unable to say her name. "You know," I say my voice lowering. "I never thought that I would see the day I was wrong about you Kara."

With that I hung my head down in instant shame at my words, knowing that they cut my sister deep but I couldn't stop them, and left the medical wing.

Winn's P.O.V

I watched as Kara took a large shuddering breath at Alex's parting words. I knew that they cut the super hero deeply. Tears are slowly building up in her eyes, refusing to fall.

"Kara..." I say softly.

She huffs out a breath, shaking her head. "I... Why...how do...Why does she hate me for being in love?" And in that moment Kara is that scared little girl, whose parents put her on a ship and sent her off, awake, into the deep dredges of space to an unfamiliar planet as she watched her planets death claim the lives of her family...

She stood there, just staring at the door that Alex had escaped through. "Kara..." She turned her glare to my so fast I was a bit worried that her laser vision would come creeping out.

"I DON'T need your hate spewed at Lena right now too Winn," she growled out making me put my hands up in a peace offering.

"I stand by what I said earlier Kara," I say evenly. "I don't care who has your heart, so long as you are happy and you trust that person. You being Supergirl, that's your secret to tell, do I think you could have handled telling Lena about the DEO differently, a little bit. But I trust your judgement Kara." I lower my hands as I walk up to her, the tears now running down her cheeks. "Alex doesn't hate you, and she's not angry that you are in love, she's hurt that you didn't tell her. And I know your loyalties lie with us, just as much as they do with Lena, Alex knows this too." I close a bit more distance between us and wrap her in a hug I know that she is desperate for.

It takes seconds after that for Kara to let out one...one singular, heartbreaking sob into my shoulder that makes her whole-body shudder, then that's it. Her tears still stain my shirt but she's silently shaking in my arms, and just a year ago a small part of me would have been thrilled to have this gorgeous person cradled in my arms, my nose buried in her hair, but now, standing here today I know that there is no one out there better suited for the girl of steel than Lena Luthor.

"Give her time, slowly let her see you and Lena together, eventual she will see what I have no doubt you see in Lena. Helping her that day she organized that gala to set up those guys using alien weapons to rob people, I saw something in her, something good and right."

"She told me," Kara said into my shoulder, her voice shaky and still tear-laden. "She told me that the Luthor's' did everything that they could to alienate her from everyone, trying to turn her to their evil ways. She always told me that she knew, she knew that she wanted to be someone good, someone that her future significant other would be proud of. That was the night we got together, I told her that I was so proud of her and her strength...that she was amazing." She heaved another shaky sigh before pulling back and looking me in the eyes. "Winn, I don't want to feel guilty for loving her, I couldn't put her through that. Tell me, tell me that Alex will come around, even if you don't believe that she will."

Raising my hands to grab her strong shoulders I looked at her with every ounce of my belief, "Alex, will come around. James will too once he finds out. You are so pure hearted sometimes Kara, that we want to do nothing but protect you from the evils of this world that sometimes we forget that you know of loss that none of us will ever comprehend, you carry an anger inside that we forget about. Does Lena help calm that anger?"

"Yes."

"Does she make you feel at peace with the death of Krypton and your family?"

She hesitates but lets out a small "Yes."

"Does she calm your very being? Does she make you happy?"

"Yes."

I smile, "Does she care for you when the many noises of this world send you into sensory overload?"

She nods.

"Then that is all I care about. I know that she will protect you, I've seen enough of the two of you around each other. And I know for a fact that Lucy was with me in cheering for the two of you to get together."

"What?!"
